[15 Mar 2025] Bartley Rd East accident: 70-year-old motorcyclist dies; 30-year-old female driver arrested

[English Teacher]

yes
had biker stayed at mid lane w/o switching to his right, he might not get hit at all

then again, it's really unexpected for a speeding car to be coming from behind as the light still on red

still need to check for the unexpected

zhabo driver... smh

Yep.......full on accident with the traffic coming from her right. She didn't even notice the red light cam as well, so no deterrent effect. Totally oblivious.

Her speed not slow also, 11 frames out of 30 fps vid, 0.367 seconds for the length of Hyundai Sonata @ 4.8 metres. There was 1 car vid which captured this.
This works out to be 47kmh approx.
And as the car was moving, that'd be at least 10kmh higher (possibly 12-15kmh higher, coz that does not seem to be 10kmh / 6:00 min/km running pace....coz i am a runner), ie 57kmh for the Sonata. Bare minimum.......

The lady driver was fully distracted and totally oblivious.

ps. Can play the youtube vid frame by frame also, her brake lights came on only at where the red light cam was, or less than 1m away from the scooter.

Great analysis.

Ya. Look at the stopping distance. She hit the bike then start applying the bike. Her car already moved beyond the stop line and into the junction already. If she neve hit the bike, she would have chiong thru the junction.

Consperm chionged past the stop line and getting hit from the right by incoming traffic and sustain serious injuries!

turning lane so might be showing green filter arrow

Erm, thy 3rd video at post 34 shown that main traffic is already moving in the perpendicular direction. If the car never hit the motorbike, would have hit main traffic also. Very likely was distracted not paying attention to the traffic condition.

Did he check his rear mirror for incoming traffic before filtering into the overtaking lane? He didn't or didn't check enough? He should not have filtered across two lanes in one fell swop. After he filtered from lane 3 to lane 2, had he stayed in lane two longer, he would have seen that car coming in fast and furious and he should not filtered into lane 1 further.

The female car driver is responsible of course. She didn't seemed to slow down after the motorcycle is already right in front of her. Maybe she was on the phone?

Both are responsible. But the man is the elone laying in the hospital now. He is on the losing ended, and I don't mean monetarily.

Red light means stop simple as that , why need check behind? Even u saw she coming how u prevent ppl chiong red light?

[white_prince]

Wow what excuses will she come up with?
Brakes not working? Sunlight too bright? Emotionally unstable? Good daughter talking to mother?
But she will never say she is using her phone

Maybe JB drivers drive differently and have their own warped understanding of traffic rules…don’t need to reason with them..

 

[testart]

I suspect she using the phone or doing TikTok Live streaming or video call

She seem like no intention of slowing down

That's the problem with many local drivers, never check their rear mirrors.

Anyway, it's up to you whether you want to check your rear mirrors. The motorcyclist would not have been in the hospital had he check his rear mirror more carefully.

It's indeed a choice.
